| Abstract | With the Sixth Edition, this text continues to offer the best collection of melodies for sight sining. It combines author-composed examples with music carefully selected from the literature for an ideal pedagogical progression. The text is organized into four chapters by activity type: Melodies, Rhythm, Duets, and Sing and Play. Within each chapter, activities are organized into sections by difficulty, so finding the right activity for a class is simple. This organization gives instructors the flexibility to focus on the types of activities that interest them and their students. New in the Sixth Edition: Melodies from the literature and author-composed melodies have been combined into a single chapter for an ideal pedagogical progression. Throughout the text, additional simple exercises have been added to improve pacing. Twentieth-century materials have been carefully revised to develop students' skills more gradually. |
